Chapter 354: Has The World Really Gone Mad...
When the game ended five minutes later, Gu Mang put her phone away and turned towards Lu Chengzhou. “Let’s go, I’m hungry.”
Nodding, he held her hand as he got up and walked towards the lounge. “What do you want to eat?”
Lu Yī and Lu Qi followed behind them respectfully.
Gu Mang turned her head and her hair naturally swept across her brow ridge as she said, “Anything.”
Lu Chengzhou thought for a few seconds. “Do you want me to cook for you or find a Chinese restaurant?”
Gu Mang replied without thinking, “Cook for me. Chestnut porridge.”
Lu Chengzhou smiled and laughed deeply. When Lu Qi witnessed this scene, it was as though he had been traumatized. Even his soul was wandering. He had never seen young master like this before.
Then, he heard his young master say in an indulging voice, “Sure, we’ll go get the ingredients from the supermarket first.”
Gu Mang acknowledged with a hum.
Lu Qi was silent.
Their young master is cooking for Ms. Gu?!
Has the world really gone mad...
...
Lu Chengzhou brought Gu Mang to the most luxurious mall. The prices of the products would probably make Gu Si curse and flee.
At the supermarket Lu Chengzhou placed a bunch of chocolates and sweet treats in the shopping cart before choosing the ingredients for the chestnut porridge and paying.
He held onto Gu Mang, who followed beside him and played games on her phone.
At the cashier, Lu Chengzhou saw colorful boxes on the shelf to the side. His gaze deepened before he looked away. Gu Mang saw him through the corner of her eyes and a faint sinister smile appeared on her lips.
...
Back at the villa.
Lu Yī and the rest carried the items and followed behind them.
The servants working at the villa had been waiting there for a long time. They bowed uniformly and greeted him. “Young Master Lu.”
Lu Chengzhou removed his hand from his pocket and acknowledged them before turning around. “Bring the ingredients to the kitchen. Don’t touch them and give me the chocolates.”
“Understood.”
Lu Yī brought the ingredients to the kitchen. Lu Qi passed the sweet treats to Lu Chengzhou. Lu Chengzhou took Gu Mang upstairs.
“Has Lin Shuang left?” Lu Chengzhou cast a sideways glance at her.
Gu Mang nodded as she replied to a message on her phone before putting it in her pocket. She looked him in the eye and asked, “What’s the situation with the presidential palace?”
Lu Chengzhou curled his lips and replied, “Seven billion for the consultation fee.”
The price took Gu Mang by surprise but she smiled and tutted before replying, “You’re really ruthless.”
She thought it would increase by more than tenfold. Seven billion... that was more than twenty times.
Lu Chengzhou pinched her slightly calloused fingers. He requested it for her and yet she said that he was ruthless? Gu Mang felt ticklish from his pinch and she retreated. Her eyes instinctively narrowed.
Lu Chengzhou opened the door leading to her room and they entered. “Since they brought themselves here, they need to pay regardless of the amount.”
He put his bag on the table and turned to look at her.
Gu Mang raised her eyebrow in a sinister way. “I’ll take half and the rest is yours.”
Seeing that she had thought of him, he laughed. “No need, it’s all yours.”
Gu Mang looked at him with her dark, brilliant eyes. Moments later, she nodded and without saying much, she replied, “Sure.”
Lu Chengzhou pinched her fingertips again. “I’ll go change now and cook for you in a bit. Go have some snacks first.”
Gu Mang acknowledged with a hum. Lu Chengzhou left and returned to his room.
...
At the entrance of the kitchen.
Lu Qi felt speechless, looking at Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang who were chatting inside. Every move and action gave off a sense of practiced mastery. He shifted his gaze away and tried to digest what he had seen.
Thankfully, he came to realize the truth. If he hadn’t, given his attitude towards Ms. Gu on the first day, transferring from Country K would be impossible.
